Gross-Gerau received city rights in 1398, but there are no old city seals known. The oldest seal dates from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and shows a combination of a cabbage and an onion. These probably symbolise the importance of the horticulture in the area. Around 1600 the vegetables are combined with the cross, and the new arms are used both in seals and in buildings. The origin of the cross is not known, but it is seen on a borderstone from 1596, without the vegetables. | Gross-Gerau received city rights in 1398, but there are no old city seals known.
